Russia attacks Kharkiv with glide bombs, dozens injured

Russia has hit Kharkiv with two glide bombs, one blasted near a residential building and the second hitting a civilian enterprise, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X, Report informs.

“In Kharkiv, assistance is currently being provided to the victims in the areas hit by Russian glide bombs. As of now, dozens of people have been reported injured, including children. Russia dropped two aerial bombs right on the city, on people. One hit near a residential building, the other struck a civilian enterprise. Emergency services are now working to extinguish the fire there.

These are utterly senseless strikes with no military purpose whatsoever. And we see that this is Russia's only intention – to continue aggression and killings. That is precisely why we need support in defense – strong air defenses, expanded weapons production. All of this will help save lives. We count on cooperation with our partners and are grateful to everyone already willing to help.

All relevant services are deployed on the ground – doctors, rescue workers, police – doing their jobs, helping people. I thank each one of them. And I am deeply grateful to all around the world who support and help Ukraine,” reads the post.
